24 to 26 Dodge, give or take a year. The earlier ones had a curvy cowl bottom edge. that one looks terrible for Kansas. Severe rot, even up high near the lid. I doubt more than $100, unless the person is drunk.
Make some office / cave/ garage furniture out of it. Cowl desk and tub couch. I wouldn't give anything for it way to far gone, but ****** it up for free. What else is there? I see some goodies.
I'm with TMan, what the hell is a dry lakes tub? sounds like california hokey talk. I think the body is cool, have no idea what it is, but the dash is cool.
looks buildable to me... what is missing on the one side is present on the other. gives you something to copy from.
There are lots of similarity but also a lot different than the 23 Dodge. The bottom of the door is very different. Cowl looks the same. Definitely same family.
I also think dodge. As for worth some one here would give you a testicle for it but I have no idea what a used testicle goes for these days. Try ebay.
There was one of these at the Hawkeye Downs swap meet yesterday in Cedar Rapids. About the same condition but it had the trunk lid but it did not have either door. It was marked as a 26-27 Dodge. He was asking $2500 which seemed a bit high to me considering the condition and the lack of doors..
I like the swoopy dash and cowl sides inside... considering that the badly rotted cowl part is essentially just a big sheet of metal curved over to form the shape it might be worth saving (for CHEAP mind you if you have the time, tools and talent). But as far as that ever being a "dry lakes tub", I think you'll end up building the majority of the car from scratch. Of course, if you were serious about it and not hung up on make and model, you could use the back half of that sedan in the first photo to form the rear and "tub" portion and narrow it severely. With what you have to work with, I definitely see some possibilities... but I sure wouldn't pay a lot for what you're showing.
Are you talking "dry lakes modified"??? It could be cut down into a body for a modified but you had better have some mad body working skills or plan on learning a lot of them in the process. I'm with Gigantor on that one, if you aren't fully hung up on keeping the body's iden***y 100 percent correct mixing and matching pieces might allow you to come up with a workable body. But those pieces need to be cheap or free to be able to do it and still have beer money in your pocket. I'm building a boat tail body with the only part I bought being a 1919 Buick cowl that I bought at a swap meet for 10.00 bucks 25 years ago. All the rest of the body is made from left over sheet metal from other projects or vehicles that I junked over the years. My welding and metal shaping skills should show some improvement when that one is done.
